Ultra rare 1969 private press
psych-folk-rock masterpiece
featuring the legendary

Wrecking Crew (Beach Boys, Phil Spector).
In March 1975, Jim Sullivan mysteriously disappeared outside Santa Rosa, New
Mexico. His VW bug was found abandoned, his motel room untouched. Some think
he got lost in the desert. Some think he fell foul of a local family with alleged mafia
ties. Some think he was abducted by aliens.
By coincidence or perhaps not Jims 1969 debut album was titled U.F.O. Released
in tiny numbers on a private label, it too was truly lost, until Seattles Light In The
Attic Records begun a years-long quest to give it the full release it deserves and to
solve the mystery of Sullivans disappearance. Only one of those things happened.
For record collectors, some albums are considered impossible to get hold of, records
so rare you could sit on eBay for years and not get a sniff of a copy. U.F.O. is one of
those albums. A seventh son, Jim Sullivan was a West Coast should-have-been, an
Irish-American former high school quarterback whose gift for storytelling earned him
cult status in the Malibu bar where he performed nightly. Sullivan was always on the
edge of fame; hanging out with movie stars like Harry Dean Stanton, performing on
the Jose Feliciano show, even stealing a cameo in the ultimate hippie movie, Easy
Rider.
